Lodge.Room. Presents: Alt-Rock Legends CRASH TEST DUMMIES
2 min read
Lodge.Room. Highland Park presents Alt-Rock Legends, CRASH TEST DUMMIES along with Escape Artist Lovers on Tuesday, February 4th. And honestly, we could really use a musical memory trip back to the 90s right about now.
With one of the most recognizable voices in Canadian music history, alternative rock band Crash Test Dummies are a three-time Grammy nominated and JUNO award-winning group, who soared to the top of the worldwide charts in the early 1990’s with hits “Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm” and “Superman’s Song”. Their cover of “The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” was a highlight of the soundtrack to the blockbuster film, “Dumb and Dumber”, while simultaneously reaching #4 on the US Top 100 album charts. All of their releases keep the same folk-hued, alternative spirit of their early sound, centering around the distinct baritone of frontman Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid’s folk-rock fusion.
Touring again…
“Touring again was not something we’d planned on, but surprisingly– at least to me – there are lots of people who, many years later, still want to come and hear us,” says lead singer and principal songwriter Brad Roberts. “It’s humbling, being in the confidence of so many people.” The band is returning to Europe and the UK in the fall of 2024 for an extensive tour before heading down under for sold-out shows in Australia and New Zealand in early 2025.
The show features the band’s most iconic songs, performed by original members Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts, Mitch Dorge, guitarist Stuart Cameron and newcomer Leith Fleming-Smith.
This year Crash Test Dummies are set to release a “Greatest Hits” double vinyl album which includes their first two new songs in 15 years – ‘Sacred Alphabet’ and ‘When First the Heart’ – along with and a live version of showstopper and fan favorite “Heart of Stone”.
